The $4,000 Prize for Jute.

1t is well known that sSOr some years
past, prize of $40, 900 has been offered
TO inventors for the first ten bales of iute
grown and prepared for market in the
United States, at Il cost which will ad.
NIT of successful competition with that
from India. The principal and appar-
emily insurmountable obstacle which
conironts all efforts in this direction is
the lack of a machine which will prepare
the iute fiber for use at a cost low enough
to offset the very cheap hand labor of
India. In the jute plant the fiber lies
between the pith and the bark. 1t is
necessary, therefore, TO remove the latter
aud separate the jute from the pith, it
being also essential that this be done
without injury to the fiber, which is one
of the most delicate known. But as the
natives of India do this work for seven
to ten cents a day, a substitute machine
would not only have to overcome this
matter of cheapness, but would have to
perform the task in as perfect a manner
as is now done by Indian fingers, as well
as equal in other stages to the work of
preparation required before the fiber is
ready to enter the factory. Boston

Some Notable Trees.

A plum tree in the garden of Thomas
O'Connor, of HollidaysbuIg, Penn, that
bore an abundant crop this season was
recently again in full bloom.
John Capura, Of Oroville, Cal, took
from a white oX-heart cherry tree this
season ., 800 pounds of fruit. The tree
is sixty feet high, six feet in circumfer-
ence, and eighteen years old.
In the heart, of an oak that A. S. Nc
Kenzie, of Norris City, H., was splitting
into rails recently, was found a dirk
hunting knife, with a long, slender
blade and neatly engraved handle 1t
was in good state of preservation.
An ingenious plan to save dying pear
tree was adopted in the garden of L. NJ.
Chase, of Boston. The mice had girdled
the tree so that it seemed bound TO die.
Mr. Chase planted four small trees around
it and close lit, cut off the tops, pointed
the ends, and making incisions in the
bark of the pear, bent the small trees and
grated them to the dying trunk. They
all lived and that tree draws its nour-
ishment from the small ones. This sea
son a bushel of handsome pears were
taken from it,-Nolo York. Sun.

Once the Major Didn't Match.

'NIajor Blutfkin, the matcher," his
friends call him, says the New York Sun,
and he is almost as much devoted to the
delights of matching coins as was the
late John I. Raymond. He stood at the
bar, having floated in to get cocktail
and change bill. He got a silver dol.
lar in the change, and it was yet in his
hand, when a voice at his elbow, in the
usual terms, solicitated: "a little help,
please, General" The barkeeper was
about to run the tramp out, when the
Major said: Hold on; l will give him
a chance" He spun the dollar on the
bar, and slapped his hand down over it.
"Heads, win tails it goes to you,
said he, benignantly TO the tramp.
The latter's interest scarcely exceeded
that shown by the Major and the bar
tender as the hand was raised and the
spread eagle that is opposite the head on
these pieces was disclosed As the coin
dropped into the extended fist of the
lucky tramp, the Major was astounded at
the proposition; "Tll go you agaiu; this
dollar agin another one. And now it is
of record that the Major has actually re-
fused an invitation to match coins But
the tramp still clutched the dollar when
he found himself, a moment later, on the
sidewalk

Benefits of the Moon.

The moon ministers to human wants
in several ways that are not so apparent
as its light giving function, although some
of them are much more important 1t is
by observing the position of the moon
with reference to the fixed stars that the
navigator determines his longitude. Upon
the revolution Of the moon about the
earth is based II convenient division of
time-the month-intermedi between
that furnished by the earths daily rota-
tion and it, revolution through ITS orbit.
Doubtful points in ancient chronology
have been frequently settled by means of
eclipses of the moon, the dates of which
could be accurately determined. The
Intervention of the moon in cclipSing the
sun gave astronomers the opportunities
for obtaining their first knowledge in re-
gard to the solar envelope. But the
largest effects on human welfare are pro
duCed by the moon through the agency
of the tides. Twce a day the decom-
posing organic matter brought down TO
the sea-shOre by rivers, or deposited
along the waters edge by human agency,
is swept away by the tidal-wave in its
course around the globe. This sanitary
service which the moon performs is of
inconceiyable value. In many harbors
large ships and heavily loaded RATS and
barges are moved from the entrance to
their wharves, miles above, by that slow
but powerful tug, the food-tide An
amount of work is thus done which, if
it had to be provided by artificial means,
would cost for such a port as'London
thousands, perhaps milIion-, Of pounds
yearly. p DHIgr .SieHfr N-v.

THE FEAST OF THANKS,

Years pass like winds that cease to blow,
Like stars that fell from heavens dome,
by winds Of years. by winter snow
Unquenched, still CLEAN the lights Of home
Among the living or the dead,
o, hearts we love where'er ye be,
For you the sacred board is spread,
The feast Of Love and Memory
Clear eyes fulfilled OF holier light,
Clear souls at peace past deaths dim banks,
Through all that gloom Of utter night,
Come, keep with us the day Of thanks
The waves Of storm-scourged years that roar,
May fieck the golden head with foam
By the old hearths we sit no more
Yet God bo thanked for love and homel
Though hopes and joys, like April snow,
May melt, though good or grief befall;
For all mans life, for bliss or woe;
BE thanks said at this festival
Old homes, old hopes, old friends, old days,
Wherefrom full many season parts
For all, for all, to God be praise,
And most for love and kindly hearts

Household Hints.

Cover jellies with sugar when set
away.
Do not make jelly in damp or cloudy
weather
Never put away jar of fruit partly
filed, as it will be almost sure to spoil
Canned tomatoes should be kept where
it is dark and dry. Light Injuries them.
Dried wormwood and tansy sprinkled
about where black ants congregate will
clear out the pests.
In canning tomatoes those fresh from
the vines are better than those picked
and ripened in the sun.
Save the strength of the housewife
and servants by having all kitchen uten-
sils as light in weight as possible.
A new and palatable way to cook egg
plant is to cut it in dice, boil tender in
salted water, and serve in white sauce on
toast.
Whole cloves are now used to eXtermi-
nate the merciless and industrious moth.
1t is said they are more effectual as de-
stroying agent than either tobacco, cam
phor, or cedar shavings.
